04 / QUESTIONS
Before you contact the firm.
Does an arrest automatically mean I have a civil claim?+
No. Whether an arrest or detention was unlawful depends on the facts and legal basis relied on by the authorities.
Should I keep police documents?+
Yes. Preserve charge sheets, release paperwork, case numbers and any correspondence or medical records.
Is this different from criminal defence?+
Yes. A civil claim about arrest or detention is distinct from defending a criminal charge, although the two can overlap factually.
